defying atrophy

beyond the churn

The chance to look backward
is all bittersweet

As churn and disturbance
seem to go on
without end

Roiling the depths

Marring the surface

Etching the journey

Sliding
beyond the
horizon

Past what you can see
or even remember…

Raise your eyes!

Raise your eyes!

Raise

Your

Eyes…

and recall

The Mountains
Traversed

Before ever leaving a wake
at
all.

      I love the picture prompts, and I often find Patrick and I are on the same wavelength (I never read his poem before I write mine).

        I, on the other hand, always write mine before I read yours. 😉
